Drake discovered that he had still underestimated Lucius, he could actually restrain his magic power fluctuations to the point that even Drake couldn't sense them.
Of course, that was also because the underground environment had affected his senses, and the intense battle in the castle had also had some influence.
But no matter what, not just anyone could do what Lucius had done.
Lucius raised his head, looking at Drake, who had broken in, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"You've come!"
Besides the star-shaped mark on his left forehead having turned into a sunspot pattern on his right forehead, Lucius didn't have any changes in appearance compared to Julius.
But for some reason, you could sense the difference between the two as soon as you saw them.
How should he put it, just seeing the seemingly warm smile on Lucius's face made Drake feel a chill down his spine.
So Drake said coldly, "You're not the Wizard King that I know, so this should be the first time that we've met, right?"
Lucius shook his head, saying, "Julius and I were originally one person, and I can feel everything that he has seen and experienced.
Julius's dream is also my dream, and the country that Julius wanted to create can only be realized with my method."
Drake said coldly, "That's really ironic! The person who stopped others from destroying the world is now going to do it himself."
Lucius shook his head, saying, "You're wrong, Drake, what I want to do isn't to destroy the world like Conrad, what I'm bringing to this world is divine purification.
Have you ever thought about why the strife in this world can never end, and why hatred, conflict, and inequality entangle every person in this world like a curse?
There's only one conclusion, and that is that the source of the curse is humanity itself. Greed, arrogance, hypocrisy... human nature is ugly.
So no matter what you do, this world still won't change.
What I want to do is to purify humanity, turning them into a higher and purer existence, creating a truly peaceful world."
Drake raised his hand, stopping Lucius's long speech, saying, "That's enough! You've been acting for so long that you can even deceive yourself.
Conrad talked about creating a new world, but in reality, he was just venting his anger and hatred. You're the same, but you're even more difficult to understand. You're doing so many things for your own ambitions and desires, right.
The peace that you're talking about should be the peace that you dominate, right! And the so-called purification is just turning everyone into your puppets."
Lucius revealed a sad expression, saying, "As expected, you, like Julius, can't understand me either. Then I can only eliminate you!"
Saying this, Lucius suddenly disappeared from where he was. Drake saw a blur before his eyes, and saw him appear before him, throwing a punch.
Drake summoned the inherent spirit armament, throwing a punch to meet it.
The two fists collided together, but didn't cause any huge commotion, but Drake had rarely taken the initiative to retreat.
Drake frowned, looking at his inherent spirit armament. The armor plates that protruded from the knuckles of the evil dragon had actually deformed slightly.
Although it had begun to return to its original shape as Drake's magic power surged, the inherent spirit armament had indeed been twisted.
Lucius's punch was indeed very powerful, but the power hadn't been terrifying enough to destroy Drake's inherent spirit armament.
Drake understood, the time magic that Lucius had mastered had come from the time devil, and his own magic was soul magic.
The magic that the four members of the Zogratis family possessed, bone, blood, muscle, and soul, could come together to form a complete life.
What Lucius possessed was precisely the most terrifying ability, which could distort other people's souls. The inherent spirit armament was the manifestation of the soul, so it had deformed even though it had only been hit by a light punch.
Lucius revealed a trace of surprise, saying, "What a remarkably resilient soul, it can actually withstand my soul magic. As expected, Drake, you're special.
Although my power is still incomplete compared to what I had envisioned, I must still show it to you."
Saying this, black magic power surged out from Lucius's body, and large horns grew out of his head, directly entering a form where he had fused with devil power.
However, in the next instant, the blackness on Lucius's body peeled off piece by piece. And the parts where the blackness had faded away were emitting a lustrous light, and a special magic power had even condensed into a halo above Lucius's head. In the blink of an eye, Lucius had turned from a devil into someone as holy as an angel.
In Drake's senses, the aura of magic power on Lucius's body had completely changed. The ominous magic power had instead transformed into a power that was full of holiness.
Lucius spread his arms, and a pair of wings that emitted light spread out at the same time.
"Ever since I was born into a devil-possessed clan, I have mastered the power to purify devils, and this is the magic that brings divine power to humanity."
Lucius said this, and tyrannical magic power surged out, and in the next moment, he had appeared before Drake as if he had flashed.
Then a transparent sphere, surrounded by a ring of Roman numerals, appeared, wrapping Drake inside. And Drake was like he had been frozen, and even the scarf that had been floating up had stopped in mid-air without moving.
This was the time magic that Lucius had obtained from the highest-ranking devil, which manipulated the most fundamental rules of the world. Even Drake had been directly bound, and had no power to move.
And Lucius had just slowly raised his hand like this, pressing his finger towards Drake's brow.
If Drake had relied on the resilience of his own soul to withstand Lucius's soul magic just now, then this time, even if Drake's soul was twice as strong, he couldn't possibly withstand it.
Because Lucius had used all of his power this time, that was the full-power strike of someone who had devoured a supreme devil, and it was a strike that was targeted at the soul, which had the weakest defense.
But before Lucius's finger could land, two sparks suddenly jumped out of Drake's eyes.
Then Lucius unexpectedly heard a slight cracking sound, as if something had begun to shatter.
Then, with a loud bang, Drake's entire person seemed to have turned into a torch. The flames shot into the sky, directly collapsing that sphere of time magic.
Even though he had only been a little bit away from touching Drake, Lucius had still chosen to retreat.
"What terrifying flames, they've actually burned away even time and space." Lucius said with such emotion, a trace of caution appearing in his eyes. He had really hadn't expected that someone could break through his time magic in this way.
Drake, like a god of fire, took a step forward, and the flames became even more violent.
"You probably haven't encountered an opponent who possesses magic of the same level. Then let me tell you, for powerful mages, battles are actually a competition of the quality and quantity of magic power.
The restraining relationships of magic will be weakened because of the strength of magic power. If you want to defeat me, you'll have to bring out some real magic power!"
Lucius said with a sudden realization, "I see, it seems that I still underestimated you! Then as you say, let's settle this!"
